ixp4xx (and related ixp4xx-specific files): Change all usage of ARCH_BYTE_SEX to IXP4XX_MACHINE_ENDIAN (and ensure COMPATIBLE_MACHINE is in effect whereever it is used). Add the nslu2le and nslu2be machines. Change include/ixp4xx.conf to use tune-xscale and tune-thumb. Remove slugos-specific variables that had global OE equivalents. Deprecate ixp4xx.conf and nslu2.conf in favour of endian-specific replacements.
